If you read this, you will think that why she didn't write anything about maha's birthday. But please be patient, i am working on it..I thought of sharing her 1st birthday cake recipe and write everything there. I will be posting that recipe today.so make sure you check them..
Before that i wanted to share this samosa recipe. Normally i make samosa all from scratch..You can check out my Punjabi samosa and Tapioca samosa..But few weeks back when i went shopping, i saw this readymade samosa patti in the freezer section, i was so excited to see that because my super market never carries them so far. So i took a packet and came home happily..
At first i wanted to make chicken samosa using them. But i used them to make vegetable samosa for maha's birthday part yesterday..It came out superb and everyone loved them..If you dont have the samosa patti on hand, you can make them from scratch using the recipe from my tapioca samosa..

Mixing flour and water to make a thick paste, this is your sticking paste. Set aside till use.
Take frozen samosa patti, take one sheet from it. Place filling and fold. When you come to the end, spread some sticking paste and fold.
Heat oil for deep frying. Drop the samosa in and fry for a min till golden.
Remove and serve.
Notes:
1)While using frozen patti, remove them 20 mins from the freezer before you prepare them.
2)Always cover them with wet towel when you work with the others, so they dont dry up.
3)You can make the samosa and layer them between sheets of parchment and freeze the. When you want to fry them, take it from freezer and fry them directly, dont need to thaw.
